The best thing about these reaction videos is that they bring an extremely diverse group of people together through music. I’m sure you and I would never cross paths without them. It is great watching you hear songs that I love. Watching Elvis sing about why his dream can’t come true brought me to tears. More than 40 years have passed and that dream is still not realized.

The "Jack A Roe" and "Samson and Delilah" are some of the best versions ever! I love that little "shuffle" beat to the Jack!! If you haven't heard the whole show, it's on archive.org. Here's one of the three links archive.org/details/gd1977-05-17.sbd.stretch.5420.shnf Living in Alabama for my whole life, it was not always easy! I caught a few Charlotte shows, Atlanta shows, the two Birmingham shows in 95, a couple of Louisville shows, etc. They just really didn't spend a lot of time in the deep south.

[@mgordon1100]

When I saw which one you were playing, I couldn't connect my phone to the car fast enough. "Dancin', dancin' dancin' in the seats" I'll be dancin in my seat while I'm driving all over. Not a bad groove for a bunch of white boys. We know how to groove Jamel. Anyone who says we don't, know the wrong white folks.

[@mgordon1100]

Me too. I saw the picture before it began and I knew he had the correct one. This is the pinnacle of all Dead Streets.

[@gerizkid]

And he did a twirl!

[@Ravenn1320]

Another of my favourite Dancing in the streets is from San Bernadino earlier that year. I don't remember the exact date but it was Feb i believe. They open with Terrapin and apparently it was the first time they played Terrapin live.

This whole show is Bobby taking your ass to church. His playing on Lazy Lightning and Supplication is ridiculous. Not to mention his vocals…

[@MarkBrigham]

Lots of mastery on this. Jerry’s virtuosity, woven around Bobby’s chord structure & Phil’s bass; grate drums; Bobby & Donna’s vocals (even Bobby’s premature “Calling out...”). Who says disco sucks?

It's certainly in the top ten. The fame is for the Scarlet>Fire and the Morning Dew.

[@kelleyabitbol6156]

Yepyep

[@wreckingKREW1]

@@floorticket Well,the Dancing In The Streets has a huge rep too. If they ever played a better version,I haven't heard it. Plus,the first set is pretty hot. Especially (for me) the Deal.Brown-Eyed Women and Row Jimmy numbers. And of course the DITS to close the set. Second set,I'm "meh" on this being THE best S/F. It's up there for sure. But to me and many peeps I know,where the second set goes interstellar is the St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>St Stephen>Morning Dew run to close the set. I've flipped many folks who were "They're OK,I guess" into being Deadheads by laying that run of genius on them over the years. I'm with you overall though. Top 10 show for sure. Best ever? Meh,I dunno is there is any show that I can say is THE one for that title. Hell,the Buffalo show right after this is another one I love to pieces. Really the whole Spring '77 run was great.

[@floorticket]

[@colleenwood8220]

I saw The Dead in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse in ‘83. They played “Shakedown Street” for 19 minutes. I’d learned the hard way not to party much prior to a concert after passing out during an Aerosmith concert-Joe Perry had left the group, so it was all good- and being present around thousands of high Deadheads was amazing.

[@sweetnnekked]

I was there too! Just the beginning of my Dead journey. 2nd show.

[@rmhanseniii]

Now….this is what I’ve been waiting for

[@otherstar1]

"I feel like I'm in the '70s" is funny given that the show you're listening to was recorded in 1977. :) Also, when I saw the Gratefuld Dead in 1991, I think the only parts of the show I was sitting for the Drums/Space...the rest of the time I was up dancing!

[@cadetowen123]

Fallout from the Phil Zone would like to have a word. Rumor is Jerry dropped to his knees on the solo with that version

[@richhillyer3448]

This particular version, in my opinion, is one of, if not THE, best version. Jerry was dialed in on this particular sound his guitar was cranking out, and jams with it. Awesome. Never been to a Dead show where everyone WASN'T dancing. Same with George Clinton, but that's another story.

[@grahamokeefe9406]

Oh, man! I saw a P-funk show in the early 90s and just about lost my mind.

[@joannaflanagan2006]

I love this so much. Forever Grateful.

[@erikahlander3489]

The original with Martha and the Vandellas (Motown soul 1964) was a hit in my youth. I had not heard this version with Greatful Dead before. They are quite different! Of course I prefer the song connected with my childhood. Great vocals! But this one had other qualities - its not bad!

[@brianjohnston5325]

Back on The Dead! Ramble on Rose!

[@tommathews3964]

This is what makes The Dead so great! They can go from beautiful, melodic ballads, like "Ripple" "Candyman" or "Brokedown Palace" through rolling bluegrass tinged greats like "Cumberland Blues" "Uncle John's Band" or "Friend of the Devil" , through straight rockers like "Jack Straw" "One More Saturday Night" or "Truckin'" to pure country gold, like "Mexicali Blues" "Me and My Uncle" "El Paso" etc., to the trippy jams of "Morning Dew" "Dark Star" "Eyes of The World" then throw in a cover of an ancient Scottish folk tune, like the one of a kind "Peggy O" just for the hell of it, and switch it up to the disco slanted dance tunes like "Dancin' In The Streets" or "Shakedown Street". Even more amazingly, this could all be done in one live set! It's said, loosely, about a lot of bands, but those guys really could "do it all"!!

[@chrisd9877]

That wasn’t playing 30 seconds before Jerry had you up and dancing lol. Now imagine dancing like that for 3+ hours and that’s how a Grateful Dead show was. If you want to keep dancing check out the Shakedown Street from 10/25/79. It’s a monster jammed out version. No way you can sit in your seat.

[@melod7670]

Can I hit like more than one time??? Thanks for doing live Dead Jamel!!!! I see it isn't getting as many views as your other reactions but I really hope that doesn't discourage you from doing more.. You made this Dead Head happy..
